President Trump famously doesn't like to dwell on past missteps in public, but when asked in an interview about his biggest regret over the last two years, he had a ready answer: "I would say tone," the president told the interviewer from Sinclair Broadcast Group, per WJLA. "I would like to have a much softer tone. I feel to a certain extent I have no choice, but maybe I do." Trump said he thought he needed to be harsh to get things done, and he said his political enemies likely would have "swamped" him had he been nicer. "But that would be something I would say that I'll be working on."

Trump also chalked up recent vitriol on both sides to the necessities of the midterms, and he suggested that he's open to better relations with Democrats. (Business Insider wonders if he's worried about the GOP losing control of the House.) "I would love to get along, and I think after the election a lot of things can happen," said Trump. "But right now they are in their mode, and we are in our mode. And you know if you're criticized you have to hit back, or you should." (NBC and Fox have stopped running a controversial immigration ad that Trump has supported.)

And it only took hours for him to lie about that when he fired sessions right after the his loss of the House of Representatives last night. So much for taking a "softer tone". I said those were just words some focus group told him to say in order to try to manipulate the election, but nobody believes a guy like Trump who lies about absolutely everything. If someone asked him his name he would probably lie about that too. Oh wait he does lie about that too, right John Barron?
